I started focusing my trips on WHS in 2008. Since I live in Europe, I could greatly increase my count in the following years. Nowadays, my yearly goal is to visit more sites than are added the same year.
My trips are usually rather spontaneous and I try to maximize the time I have available by adding as many WHS and TWHS as possible, preferably completing countries or regions in one visit. For efficiency, my preferred method of transport is the combination of airplane and rental car. I’ve been driving a car in more than 50 countries, including Lebanon or India.
A major obsession of mine is to visit WHS with good weather conditions. I move or cancel trips if the forecast is bad. I also have a “revisit needed” list and travel back to WHS, where I had, sometimes due to bad weather, an unsatisfying visit.
In the upcoming years, I will shift my focus to more exotic and harder to reach sites. I also plan to keep up travelling with those community members that became good friends. No better way to celebrate a milestone or finding a hidden TWHS after navigating your car through rice fields, than with fellow enthusiasts.

The Darb Zubaydah (Saudi) (On tentative list)
The Darb Zubaydah (Saudi)
Fayd is the most convenient location of this TWHS as its on route between Hail and Riyadh. Also an important one, as it’s halfway to Mecca from Kufa. So we …

Sarawat Mountains Rural Cultural Landscapes
5 of the 7 proposed components are close to the mountain town of Abha (2270m). we covered 2 of them on the way to Rijal Almaa and of course Zee …

Well 7, KFUPM and Dhahran Camp are all within the Saudi Aramco Campus in …

Mozu-Furuichi Kofun (Inscribed)
Mozu-Furuichi Kofun
You can tick this site very easy, or you can go tryhard. The easy version would be to take the train from Osaka to Mikunigoaga station, cross the road and …

Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine (Inscribed)
Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine
As all reviews so far have only covered Omori, which is for sure the most interesting part of this WHS, I will focus on the other components. I visited 13 …
